There's a campaign from Dove lately in Greece on how photo or video filters in social media influence people.
I read that 80% of girls between the age of 10-17, would change their image using filters to look like their favorite influencers. I don't have a reference of the research I am afraid.
And the campaign continues urging influencers to tell the truth about their own image. And state it clearly when they use a filter.
This is all about self-esteem.
I was thinking from a product and company ethics perspective.
Αll social apps could add a little badge on the photo/video that indicates a filter has been used.
Or better yet. Add a badge when there’s no filter. And celebrate that.
I wonder, how could we push the companies to do something like that? Celebrate our true image.
